"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part  
limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and  
feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical  
delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for  
us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few  
persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this  
prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living  
creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

Albert Einstein
